Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving day was really nice. We went to my parents home in the afternoon. I feel bad I did not take any pictures until evening. The kids had fun playing and watching movies after dinner, and we played games around the table. Faith wants to learn to play the guitar, and loves to get out grandmas guitar every time she goes over. Logan got a bit board as several of the adults took naps in the afternoon.
Playing games gets a bit harder when my lap is full of kids.

It is fun to get together with Jon and Eden. We played 'The Gread Del Moody'.
Little Corrin is such a doll, and growing up so quickly. I think other peoples kids seem to grow up faster than my own. I apologize if I spelled her name wrong.

Aerospace Museum Trip

We took the kids to the areospace museum at hill airforce base. We had not been for quite a while. We need to make this trip more often. It was a lot of fun. Brady likes making faces and posing in his pictures. This is a flight simulator he is sitting in. Audrey and Kiersten are standing by a large airplane tire.
Here are Faith, Kenzie and Logan by the same tire.

Brady and Aaron dressed up in pilot suits.

Logan dressed up. Ready to fly!

Audrey all dressed up. Too bad they can't really fly. But imagination is the next best thing.

Happy Halloween

This halloween we used all costumes from previous years. Aaron started out as Pikachu at school. I Painted his face with waterpaints. It stayed yellowish for several days. Logan dressed in a monkey suit I found for kenzie several years ago at DI or Savers, It turned out to be a warm and sturdy costume.

Faith dressed as a grim reaper, there were no weapons allowed, even pretend, but I thought she looked preaty scary.After the School halloween parade, I was taking the kids out to the car. I set kiersten down so I could get my keys to unlock the van door, and kiersten sat right down in the leaves and thought it was great fun.Kids are always exited for the trick or treating. Kiersten is a fairy and Audrey is tigger, the cow costume I put on Kiersten in the morning was too big. I had made the fairy costume last year.This was the best decorated doorstep I have ever seen! They had a giant blowup cat archway that we had to walk under, a smoking pumpin that we had to wait for the smoke to clear to get this picture, a giant spider, hay, pumpkins, witch hats, etc.

We had taken this pumkin to the ward trunk or treat and let little kids climb in if they wanted to and get their picture taken. This is one of the pumpkins we grew in our garden. It was nice weather for halloween, The kids wanted to play outside after it was too late for trick or treating. The boys were running around shirtless and Logan was without shoes!
Faith and Audrey joining in the nighttime fun! It was close to 10 pm at this time.
